Karol-Warner | Triaxial Testing Equipment

Shear strength testing - one of the most versatile soil strength tests in geotechnical engineering, and Karol Warner’s Triaxial testing equipment aids in accurate shear strength testing of soil specimens.

Karol Warner offers testing equipment is several different compression types including Consolidated-Drained (CD) (ASTM D718), Consolidated-Undrained (CU) (ASTM D4767), and Unconsolidated-Undrained (UU) (ASTM D2850).
Karol Warner Triaxial Cells are made of heavy clear acrylic for maximum visibility for viewing the specimen and the cell fluid during testing. Cells include precision ball valves and brass fittings, and a stainless-steel loading piston operating through an internally lubed U-cup.

Triaxial and Permeability Control Panels allow the operator to monitor and control air and pressures for filling, saturation, testing, and draining fluid in the Triaxial Chambers. An Add-on Control Panel is ideal for the busy soil testing lab.

Load Frames by Karol-Warner are designed to accommodate a range of strain rates and loading capacities for a variety of triaxial tests AND can be outfitted with a wide selection of test-specific components for improved versatility.

Karol Warner’s Triaxial Data Acquisition Software records test information, real-time test data, AND calculates test results following ASTM and AASHTO requirements. (Additional components are required for operation.)

Karol Warner offers mechanical or digital Load & Displacement Measurement components and Sample Preparation equipment for trimming, preparing, and mounting samples.
